[Bug 1283285] Re: package linux-image-3.8.0-36-generic 3.8.0-36.52~precise1 failed to install/upgrade: run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal exited with return code 127

[William Ryno]

coreutils is installed, according to Software Center. The list of
programs in the info window shows ...shred, shuf, sleep, stat,
stdbuf,... but no sort. If I use Software Center to remove, it looks
like I need to remove a bunch of other "stuff" such as dpkg, hplip, etc.
Sorry but as I said in my inital report I'm just barely hanging on here.
I spent quite a while searching for how to check if sort is installed,
etc and came up blank. More detailed help is appreciated.
